Äkta människor
TV Series Overview
By Ken Parker
Real Humans (Äkta människor) is a Swedish Sci-Fi/Drama
series that began in 2012 and is currently in the middle of its
second season. The show delivers a realistic alternate
reality where human like androids (Hubots) co-exist in society. Used
as workers, companions, sex objects and servants, the Hubots are seen
by many as a tool. They are treated like cars, just objects to be
used and then traded in for a new model years later. Other people
feel differently about the Hubots, caring for them and even falling
in love with them. A small group of Hubots have been programmed to
be a bit more human and actually believe they are living beings with
their own dreams and loves.
